What does pua mean in the workplace?

Pua in the workplace often refers to the mental bullying of subordinates by superiors. Pua in the workplace is generally divided into abusive pua, cake-painting pua and threatening pua. Next, I will explain these pua in the workplace in detail for you.

The first is the abuse of pua, which usually occurs in departmental meetings. The boss will swear at your mistakes in work, beat about the bush, and then ask you to correct them in time. If you make similar mistakes again, the boss will call you stupid without reservation, and then belittle you constantly, which will make you seriously doubt your value.

The second one is pua. This kind of boss usually likes to do superficial work, confide in you on the surface, and then tell you to think more about the nobleness of the work than just the salary. In this kind of pua, leaders usually verbally promise that you will get a promotion or salary increase after you finish a project, so that you can create more value for your boss.

The third is the threatening pua. This usually happens when your boss grabs you by the pigtail and keeps telling you to work for him, otherwise you will make your secret public, so you can't get physical and mental pleasure. What's more, leaders like to enslave people. They think that middle-aged people are generally old and young, and it is impossible to leave their jobs easily, so they often give them a lot of jobs without giving them a raise.

In the face of pua in the workplace, we must first learn to divert our attention so as not to be influenced by our superiors. For example, when accepting criticism, listen carefully and divert your attention. Secondly, we should stay awake and not be bewitched by the leader's drawing cake pua. Of course, the most important thing is to actively improve work skills and seek a sideline to avoid being in a passive position in the work.
